Bioplastics & Biopolymers

Applications Of Polymers

Polymers are increasingly being used in a wide variety of applications in electronics and photonics, most of which use polymers in their traditional role as engineering materials. The application of polymers are divided into various types of fields: Agricultural field: Mulching films, green house films are the best examples for the polymer films. Biodegradable polymers are generally used for this purpose. Medical field: Syringes, capsules, medicine packaging, urine bags are the examples. Transport field: car bumpers, wheel covers etc are also made by the use of polymers. Electrical field: wire coating, switches etc. Household applications: Bowls, kitchen accessories are also made by the polymers. Speciality polymers like PEEK, PEK are used in aeroplanes
